Themes and Issues
The focus of this course is in trying to understand the pattern of
world development in the long-run, starting with the Neolithic
Revolution around 10,000 years ago.
The most dramatic fact is the relative evolution of income per-capita
vividly portrayed in the data by Maddison shown on the next slide.
When I was a (British, and worse British Empire) schoolboy we used
to just call this the industrial revolution but now we call it the Great
Divergence.
This terminology reáects a signiÖcant shift in emphasis away from
explaining why the industrial revolution happened to why the
technologies and methods of organization it generated di§used so
unevenly across the world.
